    Android-WP updates scene

    Yes but not to WP8 though. I will agree that it was good MS upgraded every phone regardless of manufacturer but at the same time all the top tier Android manufacturers have given updates to their mid-tier and top tier devices to JB.

    Android-WP updates scene

    We are referring to phones with a budget of 10-15k. Almost all phones in this price range have received updates. Why are you referring to below 10k phones when no one is talking about those devices ? And I am not even talking about custom ROMs which anyone can do. And you may laugh all you...

    Android-WP updates scene

    ^^ Not agreeing with 6 pack but most Android devices do receive updates so your statement is not just misleading but plain wrong. My Burst has received an official update to ICS from GB. Similarly my dads LG Optimus One received an update from Froyo to GB. And my friends Samsung Galaxy Advance...

    10-15K Mobile phone for teenage girl (budget 15K)

    As I said the Lumia is a great phone for people who just need a well built good looking phone with a good camera. In fact if I had to choose a business phone I probably would go for WP8 as it would have better battery life and a lag free experience which is not what I get from my current...

    10-15K Mobile phone for teenage girl (budget 15K)

    No one uses every app out there. But Angry birds, Temple Run 1/2, Fruit Ninja, CSR Racing and quite a few other games are very popular among Teens. None of the games are available for free on WP8 and while Temple Run 1 is free, the Lumia 720 lacks the hardware to run the game. If she just...

    10-15K Mobile phone for teenage girl (budget 15K)

    My younger sis has a Lumia 620. She had an el cheapo Dell XCD35 earlier but she hates her Lumia now. She finds the app support a big joke and while she hardly uses any apps the sheer lack of good games puts her off Windows 8. A few months of usage hasn't warmed her up to Windows Phone either...

    Sygic Maps for Android 1+1 licence offer @Rs.700 each

    +1 I compared it to Navigator app which is a freeware map software using Openmaps. My village in Goa is basically in the middle of no mans land with no roads for almost 15 kms in either direction ! Sygic however showed me all the roads just perfectly. Google maps does the same but data...

    20-25K Android Gurus : Which 25k Droid for an iPhone stand-in / temp replacement

    How about the HTC One X+ ? No external memory support but the looks of HTC are nice and the build quality exceeds that of the Nexus and Samsung S3. EDIT : Inadvertently mentioned HTC One rather than HTC One X+

    urgent help needed for Camera <= 10k with rechargeable battery.

    No idea about digicams either. Canon IXUS is generally good for casual use.

    Best Digital SLR for 45k ?

    @mutant - Check out the A58. Its a new model and its priced very well in India. Has most of the features of its higher priced brethren but at a lower price point.

    CPU/Mobo Getting no display, advice needed !

    ^^ Ha ha, don't worry I understood the first part. :P But Thunder series and Corsair VX series aren't the ultra low end budget PSUs ! They sell far below what Zebronics, Iball and other Chinese OEMs sell in the market at far lesser prices. I wonder what the sales of the mid and higher end...

    CPU/Mobo Getting no display, advice needed !

    IMO, Coolermaster has replaced their OEM since the Extreme Power days. Not read much about their Thunder series but it doesn't mean its a bad PSU. Specs match that of the Corsair CX500 down to everything so it should be OK.

    Best Digital SLR for 45k ?

    Sony A57 is nice but the 60D at its current price is a steal. It has a proper penataprism viewfinder with a top LCD and a second control wheel. Yes IQ wise the 60D is getting a bit old but for most applications it should be fine. If you like shooting with the LCD then the Sony A57 allows for...

    Review Signature Acoustics CA12

    @Metalspree - Yeah they are both source and tip dependent. I used them on Sony hybrids and they sounded pretty poor till I changed the tips to the normal small ones and the sound became better. Never seen such a difference in tip performance before. :p

    Review Signature Acoustics CA12

    Introduction While I am a bit late to review the Signature Acoustics CA12, I have had the pleasure of listening to them when the IEMs were just one of the many samples that were on test to decide which one will be the first IEM from the Signature Acoustics brand. Signature Acoustics is a new...

    Sygic Maps for Android 1+1 licence offer @Rs.700 each

    Damn ! The price is 499 now ? Bought it during the buy one get one free offer in Dec. Still got to use it for 5 months so I shouldn't complain. I dunno why people find it useless without data as I found the maps very useful on the road where no network was available.

    Please help me buy a camera for 25-35k

    Whoops ! Missed a zero there. :P Why you went for 600D when 60D was available for just a little more. Its a very good camera for the price.
